Project Team

I owned the mobile design for this project, and additionally took over as design lead after a resourcing change. This project was a massive cross-team effort between Product, Design, and Engineering. Due to the project's performance intensive nature, we collaborated closely with engineering leads throughout the feature lifecycle to determine capabilities and limitations.
